The Zoo!!

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I met up with a good friend of mine (whom I haven't seen in awhile) and her little boy and we all went to the zoo. It was such a beautiful day out and the fresh air was awesome, for all of us :) And it was such an awesome extra bonus to be able to get caught up with an old friend.

Here are some pictures to capture the event :)

We're ready to go Mom! (Brooklyn left, Emmalyn right)

The elephant was trying to hard to get the hay basket above...she even shook it really good a few times. The baby elephant is behind her.

The tigers were all out and playing around, it was awesome!




If you look really close you can see the Lynx that had wedged itself between the two roofs.

The girls getting a quick drink...yes they're finally learning to hold their own bottles!!

We're getting pretty use to being somewhat of a "spectacle" (for lack of a better word) whenever we take the girls anywhere...apparently twins are something to look at, comment on, and even sometimes touch at your own free will :( At the zoo - it was no different. And here I was thinking "oh there are plenty of cool animals to look at, point at, oh and ah at no one will notice us!" Well I was wrong...yes we even had a moment when we were in a crowd looking at all the cute smaller monkey's when I girl (I'd guess about 5-6 years old) turned around, saw the girls, pointed her finger straight at them and shouted "OOH". It was funny!
